S&C South Alliance

With a million more trains on the railways today than a decade ago, we deliver crucial S&C renewals in the South of the UK using an ‘Alliance’ approach, combining the skills of contractor, designer and client.

Colas Rail Ltd, AECOM and Network Rail are working together in the guise of the S&C South Alliance to efficiently and effectively deliver this complex programme of works within a challenging access regime and alongside a range of other client maintenance and enhancement activities. The Alliance model means Network Rail and its delivery partners will work together with aligned goals and objectives to efficiently deliver S&C works.

It is not all about track works either, the Alliance undertakes all aspects associated with multi-disciplinary renewal and has sufficiently developed its offering such that it is a ‘go to’ mechanism for Network Rail to deliver complete enhancement works.

The S&C work is part of Network Rail’s track renewals programme for the 2014-19 funding period, where it will renew more than 7,000km of track as part of a £25bn investment programme to build a bigger, better railway for Britain.
